CEDAR CREEK.
VermOnter Who Thinks Gen. Wright Was q
Blame.

Blame.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: wish TO re-
late an incident which witnessed the day of
the battle Of Cedar Creek in 1864. Between 2
and 3 o'clock p. m. Of that day, looking down
the pike, i saw single horseman coming up
on a dead run. On nearing the line of troops
in his front he left the road and came directly
TO where the Lieutenant-C Colonel of the ID VT.
was standing and stopped. He asked the Colo
mel, What troops are those in fr0ntY" The
Colonel replied, The Second Brigade, Second
Division, Sixth Corps" and then added, Gen
eral, we are glad 20 see you" The General re-
piled, rising 10 his full hight in his saddle,
by G., we are all right" and then put spurs
20 his splendid charger aud rode down the line
TO the right, the boys cheering him as he passed
along at gallon. Soon after the bngle sounded
the charge, and in we went. In less than one
hour Gen. Early was whipped out of his boots.
Some one writing in THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE gives Gen. Wright all the credit of that
battle. III he is entitled 10 any credit in that
days work, il is in our defeat in the morning.
Our brigade land i think the whole coTps) was
in camp in the rear OF the front line, which was
along the banks of the creek, and we heard
heavy firing for fully three hours before any
orders came TO fall into line. Delay and moth
ing else caused our defeat in the morning and
the loss Of Is pieces Of artillery III Gen. Sheri-
dan had been there this never would have hap
pened-at least this is my opinion.
Gen. Wright may have been great General,
but no enlisted man in the glorious old Sixth
Corps can be made 10 believe IT, He gained
the hatred Of all the boys in trying TO see how
far he could march his corps i'm a day when
there was no need. After the surrender al

days just 10 get there ahead of the Western
army, under Gen. Sherman
After we had returned 10 Richmond by rail
and started for Washington, he was going "a
see if he could not make the quickest time OF
any corps TO that city. The first day out we
did not make camp until III p. M, and the next
day started bright and early. but that day il
commenced 20 rain and we got stuck in the
mud, and that saved US from another fool march
If live Thousand years. shall not forget the
"cussings" OF the men on that first day and
night out from Richmond. In all the time
that my regiment belonged 10 the Sixth Corp,
i never heard an officer or enlisted man speak
a good word for Gen. Wright but, on the Other
hand, everybody had kind word for Gen

Give Them Their Due.

William Il. Wands, Fassett, Pa, sends an
editorial from the Elmira Gazette against the
pension bill, which he denounces in the strong
est terms. He says no paper uttering such
sentiments can expect the support of the SOL
diers.
c. W. E. Lyle, Co. K, 18th Pa, Apollo, Pa,
has no patience with the editors who make
such exaggerated statements as to what the
reeently-yetoed pension bill would cost the
Government. Some Of them put it as high as
$l50.0O0,O00.
i. Tower, Miilville, N. j., urges in the strong
est terms the necessity of proHpt action by
Congress in behalf Of the suffering soldiers.
He thinks the justice of their claims cannot be
disputed and he does not understand why Con-
gress is SO slow in recognizing il.

Catarrh is Inflammation of the lining membrane

The history of the efforts to treat catarrh during

GREEN SMITHS PER DIEM.
Attorney General Kitchener Shows Why He Is
Not Entitled to Northumberland Pay.

Attorney general Kitchener has prepared an
official opinion answering a question addressed
to him by State Auditor Carr, inquiring if
Green Smith, as acting President pro tempore of
the Senate, is entitled 10 per diem of 49, or to
the regular pay of Senator The Attorney
general says that, by being chosen to preside
over the Senate for the occasion, Senator Smith
did not cease to be member of the Senate, nor
did he become entitled to any increase of pay,
for the law does not provide for
any increase. Section %. of Article S,
of the Constitution provides that "the Lleuten-
ant-governor, while he shall act as President of
the Senate, shall receive for his services the
same compensation as the Speaker of the House
of Representatives" and the Speaker. by stat
ute, is given a salary of So per day. 1.-The
President of the Senate for the occasion" says
the Attorney general, lis not the Lieutenant
governor in any sense; he merely presides over
the Senate while the Lieutenant-governo is un-
able to attend, acting Governor and the
position has been so lightly esteemed hitherto
that there is constitutional or statutory pro-
vision for any other compensation than that
given to the occupant fas member of the Sem
ate. While it is true that the occupancy of such
position imposes additional burdens on the
Senator, yet it is equally true that the Legisla-
ture may attach additional duties to Office or
require more official labor. without increasing
the compensation. Therefore, 1 advise you not
to pay Senator Smith more than Sc per day and
the mileage allowed by law"

WAR AGAINST SECRET SOCIETIES.
Proposed Protest Against Benevolent So
cieties Which Meet with Closed Doors.

cisties Which Meet with Closed Doors.
Philadelphia Special.
In the near future the secret societies of the
country will be subject to a bitter attack from
ministers and lecturers This movement
against all secret organizations is being rapidly
and fully organized. 1t started in the West,
but has spread over the entire country, and has
enlisted in its cause a large number of prom
nent professors and noted reverend gentlemen.
A convention of anti-secret society people has
been called to meet at Chicago on the Both inst.
The call contains long list of signatures,
among which are such names as Rev. James
McCosh. d. D., President of Princeton College;
Prof. A Hodge. of Princeton College: Rev.
William Horton, d. D.: c. W. Prichard, editor
of the Christian Worker: Rev. James E. Roy,

Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in PHILADELPHIA
Said one of the gentlemen yesterday:
Eve object to all societies that hold secret
meetings and in which members under oath
pledge or bind themselves together to perform,
any object The particular object of our at
tack is Freemasonry. The Masons have a
ritual land form OF religion of their own. and
in it the name of Christ is never mentioned.
The ritual is treated this way in order that any
one no matter of what religion. can be taken in
without troubling his conscience. Thus any
man who pretends to be Christian has to lay
aside his christianity while in the lodge-room
for the sake of few who are not Christians
Secrecy is antagonistic to the principles OF
republcanism. and should not be tolerated
under republican government. They might
instill and teach doctrines detrimental to the
government. and behind their closed doors
might be conspiring for the downfall of the
country. 1t was the case in France. and during
the revolution there the dangers of these or
CARNATIONS fully demonstrated. They
had to be suppressed No good comes of
their secrecy, and it should not be given the
stamp of public approval"
